We live in a nation of Self Righteous people that can do no wrong.
Every one else is unwelcome in their world.

I am one who can call my self part of the right people if I wished.
I say wish to stress that we need to have a system that has room for all.
As a older white male in the past I just accepted my white privileges' with out question.
At about six years old. (!942-43 I saw a colored lady drink from a water bubbler that was mark colored next to one that was marked white. The first colored person I had ever seen.
After the lady left I went & took a drink from both faucets.
I could not tell any difference

I just went home to my white roots.
This has stuck with me through the years.

At about 22 years old I went for a job interview:
I don't recall seeing any white faces.
Just lots of black faces.
Many just milling around outside.
People went in & people came out.
I questioned my self for hang around. But I did & my turn came & they took me in for a physical & told me I had a job.

I was greatly relived to find I was called in for a difference job for the next day. One that was hiring both black & white.
So I had a job.

Late in the year I was drafted into the army. Where my whiteness lead to a job in a personnel office of a Battalion. One day a black person showed up to be a part of the offices. He just was gone in a flash.
I had not had the training for that job & the black man did.

I am not clear in just how & when the issue became an issue for me.
I will just say that I try to treat every one I meet with respect.

I am faced with some in my own family that I feel sure do not agree with me.

For what ever it is worth we need to treat each other with the respect we wish to receive from others..


I just feel that there needs to be room in our system where all have a chance to be an effective part of the whole.

Liberty Tree

Yes, he does because he is part of the unrighteous left.

I entered the issue here on this forum because those of on this form represent a cross-section of our nation.

I feel that the right shows a stronger effort in dividing us than the left.
I do feel that there is a need for a healthy balance between both sides in bring moderation in how we interact with each other.

I used the term self righteous & will agree that self righteousness is at the core of what we believe.
It is my belief that having empathy for others is stronger with liberals than conservatives.

Either you accept a healthy balance or you are being self righteous, in demanding preference of one or the other.

Empathy??? That is a joke!!!!!...Do you people have empathy for homeless Americans over i*****l a***ns???...Do you people have empathy for families who lost loved ones because of criminal illegal aliens????...What about your empathy for Police officers who lose their lives thanks to anti police crap that your "righteous" left have adopted???...I can go on and on...No!!...The only empathy you people have is for illegal criminals who should NOT be here at all!!!

I am always amazed to see how someone so old can have learned so little in life.

We all have the right to be Self Righteous.
I do believe that many on the right are more Self Righteous & the left less so.
Life is about finding the Best Balance of all the individual parts.
Today too many people like to hang on to (Or bring out)the extremes).

It is by getting feed back from others that I become aware of the need to alter how I express issues.

That sounds like "my way or the highway", if it is, then hit the road.

Being a republican today is to become out dated. Holding on to issues that are becoming out dated.
The nation has become in many ways to far right.
The issue facing us to day is one of not drifting to far left.
There needs to be moderation in both parties.

In expressing my liberal views I see the need to see moderation on both sides.
As things stand today it is to bring moderation on the right & avoiding an over correction on the left.

This all takes an increase in individual thinking by every one.

If i'm reading you correctly, you are a blue dog JFK styled democrat who H**ed secret societies, the Federal Reserve
the CIA, Wars and R****m...That said, today you'd be called a "right winger"

No, he is just another extreme l*****t trying g to pass himself off as some objective thinker.

But with most of your posts you seem to be anti black, brown and white if they are conservatives. That shoots your pretext of being for everyone.
